So, take a look after the jump and tell La Cieca the two things that are wrong (they’re related) about the cover of the Met’s new Ring DVD/Blu-ray. 
It’s been so long, but was that really the extent to which B’s face was covered?
Siegfried will immediately realize this is no Mann by the lack of scruff.
HOW DO I BUY THE NEW RING SO I CAN MAKE MONEY FOR LA CIECA??
